The first model of synthesizer to feature VA (virtual acoustic) tone generation based on physical modeling, a complete departure from sampling and FM.
A VA tone generator creates sounds by simulating the physical mechanism by which wind, string and other instruments produce sound.
The virtual instruments simulate characteristics such as the shape and materials of music instruments, allowing the creation of tonal changes that respond to the breathing and playing methods used.
The VL1 was created with reed instruments and other wind instruments in mind, and thus is two-note polyphonic.
From OPN: Both Lopatin and guest artist Kelsey Lu played the Yamaha VL1 on Lopatin's eighth studio album, Age Of. "I love an idiosyncratic synth to begin with. So, that's already kind of there." he says of the VL1 and its luscious yet off-putting sounds. "Honestly, I'll probably come back around to it one day. If I don't sell it, I'll never try anything else [laughs]."
*No breath controller included*
